The Family Feud or sports? You decide

It's almost spooky how much sports has come to resemble game shows. Here's a few examples.....

Lingo.  Ozzie Guillen, manager of the Chisox. After 5 tries, I still can't understand some of those words either.

Baggage. Plaxiico Burress, Mike Vick, Terrell Owens, Adam "Pacman" Jones, etc. The list is long. Tough call.

Wheel of Fortune. Anybody drafted in the 1st round by the NBA.

1 vs 100. A Chicago Bears fan wearing a jersey in a Green Bay sports bar on game day at Lambeau.

Let's Make a Deal. General managers and agents.

Deal Or No Deal. Those same people when the player is holding out for a better contract.

Jeopardy. This gets complicated. Regular jeopardy is when a guy finds out his team drafted a hot shot college kid that plays his position. Double jeopardy is when his team went out and got a free agent for his position, and paid him 3 times what the original guy was making.

Daily Doubles? Dustin Pedroia of the Bosox.

Final jeopardy is when a guy is 40 years old, and still thinks he can put a beatdown on the reigning world champion in his weight class in the "octagon". That is a bad, repeat, BAD, idea.

Minute To Win It. You're typical major league baseball "closer".

The Price Is Right. Anybody a big market team signs in their never-ending quest to....

   1) Put them over the top for a possible championship, or....
   2) Prove they're about as fiscally responsible as the U.S. government, which results in.....
   3) An average family of 4 skipping a house payment to attend a game.

That "come on down" thing just might wind up being their credit rating.

Even some of the old game shows are still relevant. Consider....

To Tell the Truth. See Mike Vick above.

Concentration. Peyton Manning.

I've Got a Secret. Former Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel or, currently, the Miami Hurricanes.

Hollywood Squares. Offensive linemen trying to be slick with starlets on Rodeo Drive.

The Newlywed Game. When former jocks become "analysts" and will say or do just about anything on TV for a few bucks.

The Dating Game. Check the latest tweets from A-Rod and Derek Jeter. Or maybe the tabloids.

Joker's Wild.  2 words. Chad Ochocinco.

The Match Game. Outrageous  pay-per-view prices to watch the boxing bout of the century which, amazingly enough, seems to happen every 6 months or so.

Yet there's one that puts all the rest to shame, which brings me back to the beginning.

Family Feud.  Frank and Jamie McCourt, owners of the LA Dodgers (for now). Forget about doubling or tripling the points. The survey said.......

This "fast money" round just isn't working out.
